The setting is a Greek island where 20-year-old Sophie is due to be married. Her mom, Donna (who happens to be a former singing star) is there, but her father isn't...because she's never met him. So, Sophie snoops in her mom's diary, chooses three former lovers as likely candidates and invites them to the wedding, hoping she can just figure it out when she sees them!

This musical dances to a disco beat, featuring 22 of Swedish singing sensation ABBA's greatest hits, including "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," “Take A Chance on Me," "Knowing Me, Knowing You"
and "Super Trouper". These pop songs weave together an enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship.

Lion King

Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap! The entire savanna comes to life and, as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly rises out of the stage. This is The Lion King. The winner of six 1998 Tony Awards, including Best Musical,
The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion cub who struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destined role as king. To bring the classic 1994 film to life, Disney turned to the story’s roots, its rich mythology, powerful human drama and primal African rhythms to create a fantastic musical unlike anything Broadway has ever seen.

Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals miraculously brought to life by a cast of over 40 actors in what The London Daily Telegraph calls “a blaze of fabulous imagination.” Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director/designer Julie Taymor, as one of the most successful films in history is stunningly recreated right before your eyes. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pride Lands and an unforgettable score including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and songs by South African composer Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer. Treat yourself and your friends and family to a memory
that will last a lifetime at the musical Time Magazine calls “awe-inspiring” and “a gorgeous, gasp-inducing spectacle!” The Lion King is an adventure into another world. Get tickets today!

Based on Gaston Leroux’s famous novel, the musical’s tale begins as unexplained accidents have been occurring throughout the Paris Opera, and the stuck-up diva, Carlotta, refuses to go on. Christine takes her place and is a triumph. At her opening night, she meets her childhood friend, Raoul. Alone in her dressing room, she finally meets the Phantom who has taught her to sing so beautifully. Taking her to his lair in the misty catacombs beneath the Opera House, the Phantom declares his love for Christine, but she soon learns
his terrible secret. The story moves from the Phantom’s underground hideaway to the dizzying roof of the Opera House, as the Phantom and Raoul battle for Christine’s love.

Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python’s Spamalot features “a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas.” The production also promises “some of the most
unforgettable musical numbers you will ever see in the theater on this evening!”

musical stars Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as King Arthur, David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) as Sir Robin and Hank Azaria as Sir Lancelot. Tony and Academy Award-winner Mike Nichols will serve as director. Trip includes transportation, dinner.
